Depends on what you mean by "simplify"

Explanation:

What do you mean by "simplify"?

You can only apply the definition of factorial, I'd say: the factorial is a function that, given a number, returns the multiplication of that number and all the ones before, up to 1. So, for example,

5! = 5\times4\times3\times2

(the last multiplication times 1 is irrelevant)

So, you have

52! = 52\times51\times50\times...\times3\times2

I wouldn't recommend to look for the exact value of this expression, since it is quite big, it has 67 digits! See here.
